FiiO K17 Desktop Streaming DAC & Headphone Amplifier
Experience the future of desktop Hi-Fi with the FiiO K17. As a versatile all-in-one powerhouse, the K17 combines a high-end DAC, a potent headphone amplifier, and a lossless streaming receiver into a single, elegant chassis. Featuring a stunning 3.93-inch touchscreen and flagship-grade internal components, it is designed to be the central hub of your premium audio system.
Flagship AKM DAC & Discrete Amplification
Dual AK4191+AK4499EX DAC Setup The K17 employs AKM’s latest flagship DAC combination, utilizing two AK4499EX chips to process each channel independently. This digital/analog separated architecture ensures a pristine, high-resolution soundstage with ultra-low background noise and exceptional detail.
Desktop-Class 4000mW Output Engineered with a discrete AB-class balanced amplification circuit and premium ON Semiconductor MJE243G/253G transistors, the K17 delivers a massive 4000mW+4000mW of power (at 32Ω). This provides enough headroom to drive even the most demanding full-size planar magnetic headphones with effortless dynamics.
Professional-Grade DSP & Lossless PEQ
31-Band High-Precision PEQ Driven by a professional M21586Q DSP chip, the K17 supports 31-band lossless PEQ (Parametric Equalizer) across all input modes. This allows you to fine-tune frequency response curves, simulate specific headphone signatures, or correct room acoustics without any sampling rate conversion (SRC) loss.
Total Control via 3.93-Inch Touchscreen Navigate your music and settings with ease. The integrated full-color LCD touchscreen provides an intuitive interface for switching between the 8 working modes, adjusting gain levels, and visualizing real-time sampling rates or EQ curves.
